At the beginning of August I realized there was no relationship to continue standing for.
We all start out standing for our spouse and the relationship. We are so hurt and in shock it’s an almost default position.
In time, we heal and grow. We start to see with less rose coloured glasses. We find detachment and even indifference.
During this temporary muting / attenuation of the cacophony of our spouse and situation is an excellent opportunity to discover one’s deeply held beliefs and convictions. Strengthen those values that serve, craft those you aspire to, and discard/alter those that do not serve.
Standing changes. Perfectly normal. Standing evolves into standing for you. Standing for your convictions.
Allow ample time and effort to dig into this inner work. (Re)Discover yourself. Stand for you.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
